Strange font problem; missing pixels, lines, choppy.

Solved

The solution to this issue is to create a file named xorg.conf, paste the following into it and save to desktop or wherever:

Section "Device"
 Identifier "Intel"
 Driver "intel"
 Option "DebugWait" "True"
EndSection

Once saved, move xorg.config to /etc/X11

If you don't have permission to move it, open the terminal and paste the following:

sudo chmod 777 /etc/X11

Enter password, close the terminal, shutdown/restart the computer.

Someone posted this solution on another thread that was linked here.

Thanks for offering the solution.
B.t.w. you can do all this privileged root stuff through Dolphin if you install the Root Actions.

...and BTW, you don't have to reboot to re-start X.
